Your objective is to create
a two page report on computer disc to be turned in at the completion
of the chapter.

The first page of the report
should contain:

a table with four separate
entries of the current population of the United States rounded
to the nearest thousand.

calculations of the difference
in population over each of the four intervals.

a scatter plot displaying
the information in the table.

a rise/run triangle
on the picture showing rate as a slope.

* As usual, creativity
will increase your score.

The second page should consist
of a report of the steps you went through to obtain the rate of
population growth. Note any difficulties you may have encountered
and where errors may have occurred. Explain how rate and slope
are related.

Please be sure to use good
sentence structure and spelling in this report. Include a title,
introduction, and conclusion.

This project will be assessed
